Workspace settings

Determines what the leaf nodes are in the State Tree.

Default: Dataview

Other options: Sampler, ManagedEntity

When this is enabled and an item such as a notification pop-up, a list view, or an event ticket item is clicked, the corresponding node in the state tree where that item belongs to is also selected.

Default: Enabled

Note: When creating a new workspace, the default value is enabled. However, when loading an existing workspace, the default value is disabled.

This allows you to configure the settings in your workspace.

• Workspace is read only — Configures the workspace as read-only. The Active Console does not save back to the workspace between sessions.
• Autoload last good workspace — Stops the workspace selection screen from being displayed on startup, instead the last workspace is automatically loaded.
• Autosave period — Defines the period in minutes between automatic save of the current workspace configuration to a temp file. When a new workspace is created, the default value is set to 0 which means that the auto-save function is disabled.
• Max autosave files — Limits the number of auto-save files.
• Save on exit or workspace switch — This automatically save without prompt your workspace when the Active Console is closed or when a different workspace is loaded.

URL of the SSO provider to be used for SSO authentication.

• If the SSO provider is the SSO Agent or Gateway Hub, specify its protocol, hostname, and port. For example: https://192.168.0.0:8080
• If the SSO provider is Obcerv, specify the whole URL up to the Obcerv realm. For example: https://obcerv.example.com/auth/realms/obcerv

This refers to the method used for connecting to an SSO provider.

• Direct – if this is selected, SSO agent URL login is done via a username and password dialog
• OIDC – if this is selected, SSO agent URL login is done by opening a web browser

Indicates the data source in use.

Default: Obcerv

Other options: Gateway Hub, Database Logging

The port where connects to. Leave the default port value as it is.

Default: 7040

Note: The Listen port field is temporarily disabled in Active Console for macOS.

If set to True, Gateway Setup Editor is launched on its own process. If so, the connection information is not available from Active Console. Also, if the GSE has a problem, it does not affect the Active Console.

Default: False

Sets the size of the text in Active Console components.

Sets the background colour of all dockable components.

The configuration changes only applies to existing dockable. For newly added dockable, you have to apply the background colour.

The visibility settings define how opaque the various visual indicators are in Active Console components.

This allows you to make the selected indicators more prominent than others.

Options:

• 100% — Makes the component completely invisible.
• 0% — Makes the component completely opaque.

Drag the transparency bar according to your preference for the following options:

• Knowledge Base
• Snoozed Item
• Inactive Indicator
• Banner Variable
• Inactive Children
• User Assigned
• Snoozed Peers
• Snoozed Indicator
• indicator.NoLicence
• Error Indicator
• OS Icon

If enabled, this causes the Active Console to minimise the task bar, as well as the system tray. This option only shows in Windows 7.

However, if you are using Windows Vista and XP, this option becomes Minimise to System tray. If enabled, the Active Console is minimise to the system tray rather than in the task bar.

Retains the Active Console on top of the other running application windows.

By default, the colour of the system tray icon represents the global state (the highest severity of a connected Gateway).

You can override this and define a subset of data items that should drive the colour of this icon.

When using paths to define the colour of the system tray icon, the worst severity of a data item that matches one or more of the paths define the icon colour.

This is only required if the Use Paths for Severity is enabled.

You must define the subset of data items that drive the colour of the system tray icon through a set of paths.

These paths can only go down to the dataview level and does not work in cells.

Limits the maximum number of rows that can exist in a single metric dataview.

Default: 8,000

Determines how frequent the dashboards evaluate their modifiers.

Default: 5

Determines if the graphs plotting of historical data will also plot the current data.

If set to False, this only displays the historical data.

Default: False

Determines how frequent the event ticker purges old events that must be removed due to a filter.

Default: 60

Displays the error indicators on the ancestors in the State Tree.

Setting this to True will not cause the error indicators to appear when data items in an error state are snoozed.

Default: False

Default: False

Maximum number of readable paths that the Active Console stores internally.

Default: 10,000

Allows you to float the dockables and frames on their own windows.

Default: True

Allows you to auto-hide the dockables and frames on their own windows.

Default: True

Default: True

Allows you to move dockables and frames within the docking framework.

Default: True

Allows you to resize the width and height of the dockables and frames.

Default: True

If set to True, the dockable repositions immediately when you resize it.

If set to False, a line preview appears where the new dockable is going to position. For machines that have lower specifications, please set this to False.

Default: False

Allows you to create modal frames by dragging and dropping the dockables into the centre of other dockables.

Default: True

By default, when you dock one frame with another to create a modal frame, only the selected and visible frame is docked with the target frame.

If set to True, then all frames within the frame you drag through Title bar are merged with the target frame.

Default: False

Hides or shows the frame gripper.

Default: True

Hides or shows the title bar in each dockable.

If set to False, all docking framework functionalities are inaccessible.

Default: True

If set to True and the frame is auto-hide, then this makes the hidden frame tab appears when you hover it.

• Partial — Shows the partial outline view of the dockable, including the preview of the dockable's tab location.
• Mix — Use the behaviour of both full and partial outline modes.

Default: Full outline mode

If set to True, components appear in conventional window frames that allows you to resize, maximise, and minimise them.

If set to False, window frames appear as docking framework frames that can only be resized.

Tabs are generally coloured with the worst severity of all the items these contain.

Default: True

When a tab is detached, this allows you to display the tab on a detached window.
